Highly Engaged Fans: the Degree 31 Tribe

If you are a NASCAR superfan, you’re in the right place. If you like to increase your NASCAR knowledge and be entertained at the same time, you’re also in the right place. This site is dedicated to interesting stories and interviews with the faces and places of NASCAR.

Degree 31 is a community of passionate race fans dedicated to making a difference in the sport of stock car auto racing.

Patriotic: Old glory still matters to our community. Just like NASCAR, the Degree 31 tribe honors veterans and those currently serving in the armed forces.

Loyal: NASCAR fan loyalty to teams & drivers is legendary. Professional sports franchises and leagues envy the loyalty demonstrated by a typical NASCAR fan.

Informed: Loyal fans lead to informed fans…. Our tribe of superfans are better informed than the average NASCAR fan. Fans seeking information via the internet, social media, television and satellite radio are at the core of Degree 31. In other words, superfans who don’t just talk about the sport, they live and breathe it!

FYI: The banking at Daytona International Speedway inspired the name Degree 31.

Engaged: They live it through engagement. If you are a fan who actively engages in the NASCAR discussion….via Twitter, Facebook, Google+, online forums or even the water cooler at your workplace… Degree 31 was created for you.

Passionate: Passion is what drives the desire to engage. From holding up 3 fingers in unison to honor a fallen legend, or standing up lap after lap… passion is a key characteristic of NASCAR fans in general and the Degree 31 tribe in particular.

Brand Loyal: Passion is also what creates brand loyalty. And brand loyalty drives corporate involvement in the sport. Evangelizing fan support of corporate sponsors is at the core of the Degree 31 mission.
